Exploring behavioral determinants of residents’ ecological conservation in rural tourism development by Xizhou Tian, Yiling Jiang

“…Abstract This study explores the residents’ behavioral determinants of ecological conservation in rural tourism development, focusing on resident participation to promote sustainable development in the tourism industry. By integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Norm Activation Model (NAM), it examines the roles of subjective norm, responsibility attribution, ecological environmental risk perception, and human capital in shaping ecological conservation behavior. …”

Temporal-spatial Evolution of Drought Characteristics at Different Grades in Yulin by KONG Gang, ZHANG Shanliang, WANG Lu, HUANG Shengzhi, BAI Jueying

“…Under the background of climate warming and human activities,Yulin city suffers from frequent drought,which has adverse effect on the agriculture,ecological environment and social economy in this area.Although the adverse effects of drought on the Loess Plateau have attracted the attention of many scholars,there is still a lack of grid and refined spatial and temporal assessment of drought in Yulin City.Therefore,taking Yulin City as the study area,based on the monthly precipitation and soil moisture data with a spatial resolution of 0.25°×0.25°,this paper calculates the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized soil moisture index (SSMI) on three month scales,identifies the drought characteristic parameters by the run theory,and analyzes the spatial-temporal evolution of drought characteristics at different grades.The results show that:The drought is rigorous in Yulin city.In time,a wet trend appears in spring and winter,while a dry trend in summer.In space,there is a significant dry trend in the southern of Yulin city.There are more than 6 months of long-term precipitation deficit and 12 months of long-term soil moisture deficit in Yulin City,respectively,and the month with consecutive precipitation deficit come earlier than the soil moisture deficit.Areas with high drought frequency are located in the northern,southern and eastern edges of Yulin.The conclusion is of great significance to the drought prevention,social production and ecological environment in Yulin city.…”

Carbon emissions reduction in shipping based on four-party evolutionary game by Suyong Zhang, Xiyan Song

“…In order to realize a win-win situation between economic development and environmental benefits, this paper constructs a four-party evolutionary game model including the government, two homogeneous ports and shipping companies based on evolutionary game theory. By calculating the payoff matrices of the four parties and replicating the dynamic equations, according to the Jacobi matrix, we study and discuss the possible stabilization points of the model under five different scenarios. …”

STUDY ON STEADY-STATE TEMPERATURE FIELD OF THE MESHING PAIR OF TWO-TOOTH DIFFERENCE SWING-ROD MOVABLE TOOTH DRIVE by YI YaLi, JI YaMeng, GUO Hui, JIN HeRong

“…Based on the basic theory of heat transfer and tribology,the calculation formulas of the friction heat flux density of meshing pair,the meshing tooth surface and the end face convective heat transfer coefficient with two-tooth difference swing-rod movable tooth drive are derived under the slip condition.A finite element model of the thermal analysis of the gear meshing pair is established,and the steady-state temperature field of the meshing pair under thermal balance state is calculated and analyzed by using the ANSYS finite element software.Combined with numerical simulation results,the influence of tooth profile design parameters on the temperature field is revealed.The result shows that:the steady-state temperature field of the meshing pair is determined collectively by the heat flux of the contact zone and the convection heat transfer coefficient of each surface.Because the temperature rise of sliding friction is larger,the maximum temperature appears in the center of the gear meshing face width of the center,the radius of the base circle radius has a great influence on the body temperature of the meshing surface,and the swing rod length is less affected.The research results lay the foundation for the study of the thermal deformation and thermal mechanical coupling characteristics of the meshing pair,so as to guide the dynamic design of the two-tooth difference swing-rod movable tooth drive.…”

A global perspective on inflation and propagation channels by Luca Gattini, Huw Pill, Ludger Schuknecht

“…Third, we look at the potential role of public debt in driving price developments, on the grounds underpinned by fiscal theories of the price level. On the basis of a VAR analysis, we find that: (1) global money demand shocks affect global inflation and global commodity prices (which, in turn, impact on inflation); (2) global asset price dynamics respond to financing cost shocks and (very modestly) to shocks to global money demand; and (3) positive house price shocks exert a significant influence on inflation. …”

Construction of Comprehensive Hydrological and Meteorological Drought Index Based on Base Flow and Precipitation and Its Application in Weihe River by FAN Jingjing, SUN Xue, ZHOU Bin, LIU Dengfeng, LIU Chun, LIN Shuai, LI Yunyun

“…,the comprehensive precipitation and base flow index (CPBI),is constructed by the Copula function.Then,the applicability of CPBI is discussed,and the drought characteristics of the Weihe River Basin are analyzed by this index.The results reveal that CPBI can capture both meteorological and hydrological drought events and comprehensively characterize their drought characteristics;CPBI has a downward trend on all scales,which indicates the drought is becoming more serious;upon the identification by the theory of runs,CPBI can more accurately reflect the severe drought situation of the Huaxian station of Weihe River and can better provide early drought warning;CPBI has variations,and the variation points on seasonal and annual scales are 1994,1993,1985,1999,and 1975.In conclusion,CPBI is an effective drought monitoring index for Weihe River and can provide a reference for early drought warning and response efforts in Weihe River.…”
